Critical recommendations
Adjusted average of 9.1 over 53 innings. Focus on the first 15 balls: leave/defend percentages, judgement outside off stump.
25 of 42 dismissals are bowled/LBW — likely playing across the front pad or leaving a gate. Work on a straighter bat path and head position over the ball.
1.0 wides/no-balls per over is gifting runs and momentum. Groove the run-up and release with target bowling — a cone on a 4th-stump line, 30+ balls per session.
Only 0.14 catches per match over 70 matches. Fielding is the first thing selectors compare when batting/bowling are close — make catching the priority: 30 high balls + 30 flat catches per session, and ask to field in the ring/slips where chances come.
Out for 0 in 21% of imported innings. Build a repeatable start routine: watch the ball out of the hand, score first run with low-risk pushes.
Strengths
- ✓ Builds pressure with a tight economy of 3.56.
- Overall
- Weighted blend of the disciplines: Fielding 14 × 40% · Batting not rated (weight redistributed) · Bowling 50 × 30%. Unrated disciplines are dropped and the remaining weights rescaled, so a non-bowler is not punished for not bowling.
- Level
- ×0.82 for the level played (State competition 7 · 1st grade 55 · Rep Div 1 5 · Club 3). The same score is worth more in harder cricket.
- Form
- No match in the last 2 years, so not ranked. The rating shown is from the career.
- Fielding
- Outfield: 10 catches + 5 run outs (5 direct, 0 assisted) in 70 matches — 0.21 per match.
- Batting
- Not rated: 53 innings at 9.1 average — below the 20 floor needed to be presented as a batter.
- Bowling
- 69 wickets in 68 matches bowled in (of 70 played) — 1.01 per match at 19.1, economy 3.56, strike rate 32.1.
